Meet Charles Smith, OD

Therapeutic optometrist and optometric glaucoma specialist, C. Damon Smith, O.D. is happy to be caring for the eyes of East Texas. He works closely with and has seamless access to board-certified ophthalmologists if ocular surgery or advanced medical care is needed. As a primary eye care provider, he feels his job is very gratifying.

“Vision is arguably our most precious sense. In my profession, I am able to maximize visual ability so my patients may pursue their life’s goals with greater success. Whether young or old, most people depend on their visual system to learn, comprehend and navigate the world around them,” says Dr. Smith.

Protecting the most precious of senses has become his life’s work. Dr. Smith understands that each person’s health and vision demands are unique, and he adopts a patient-centered approach to all encounters.
